The Trump Administration has announced plans to open up the Atlantic Ocean, including the Maine coast, to oil and gas drilling. This would devastate Maine’s coastlines, fisheries, and coastal communities. We need to protect our oceans from oil drilling – Mainers have too much to lose and nothing to gain from a plan that would expose our shores to oil spills and lock in decades more oil dependence and carbon pollution.
The event is set up “science fair” style, where you can learn from various booths provided by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, and submit public comments on computers provided. This format is used to put a damper on public opposition.
NRCM will be holding a press conference beginning at 2:00 p.m., which you are encouraged to attend. The public hearing will begin at 3:00 p.m.
